Start with the state: Broward County's failure rate is 32% below the Florida average. Broward County sits at 57 recent high-priority hits. Mix: 2 sushi bars, 1 American, 1 Brazilian Steak, and 1 Greek. For civilians not fluent in state paperwork: a 90-day window means the recent inspection stretch, not a verdict on every kitchen in the county.
🔥 Alerts
Emergency Orders
32 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
The menu did not mention this part, naturally: QUATES MEXICAN RESTAURANT INC in Oakland Park, ASAHI RESTAURANT in Sunrise and EL RANCHO BAKERY AND RESTAURANT in North Lauderdale pulled the heaviest numbers in Broward County. 32 emergency-order shutdowns in the 90-day window — DBPR ordered the kitchen closed on the spot. These are the most actionable signals: faster than admin actions, faster than license cancellation, faster than corporate dissolution. Across the Red Alert cohort: 1 Bakery, 1 Chinese, 1 Fast Food, and 1 Japanese. Trend line: emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut. For civilians not fluent in state paperwork: an emergency order means DBPR ordered service stopped until a callback inspection clears it. The inspectors merely wrote down the punchline.

Near Miss
57 records this window
Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
Somewhere between the mop sink and the mangroves, the facts arrived: HARAT'S IRISH PUB in Lauderdale-By-The-Se, LIGHT HOUSE THAI SUSHI in Lighthouse Point and SAKURA JAPANESE RESTAURANT in Coral Springs stacked up first across Broward County. 57 high-priority citations posted in the 30-day window — none of these resulted in an emergency-order closure (those are in Red Alert). They are the near-miss watch list: restaurants that drew inspector attention but stayed open. Any of them could receive a follow-up inspection. The recurring violation labels were HP and INT. For civilians not fluent in state paperwork: a high-priority violation is the state saying the risk can touch food safety right now.

Closed/Delinquent
196 records this window
Two tiers: confirmed closures (owner-validated posts, news, and external places data that say service has stopped) and DBPR delinquent/inactive licenses (Primary Status Code 45/46) — a regulatory state, not by itself a confirmed closure.
Florida files this kind of thing under 'Tuesday': HELLSHIRE BAY CAFE in Plantation, LA QUINTA INN, FORT LAUDERDALE NE in Fort Lauderdale and LOCKHART STADIUM KT 108 in Fort Lauderdale sat at the head of the Broward County list. 2 closures confirmed via news, state action, or multiple agreeing social signals. Another 9 surfaced from single-source social signals and remain under review — reported, not confirmed. Main evidence reasons: 200 social or silence signal and 134 DBPR inactive/cancelled status (45/46). Confidence mix: 199 confirmed and 146 suspected. Velocity check: 11 closure-evidence records in the last 90 days, 9 in the last 30. Dated closure signals run from 2011-04-25 to 2026-07-13. For civilians not fluent in state paperwork: a closure signal is evidence a place may have gone dark; only verified tier-4 records are confirmed permanent closures. The swamp, for once, is not the problem.

⚠️ Caution
Chronic Violation Record
188 records this window
Active enforcement targets and repeat offenders: restaurants carrying emergency-order history, chronic 11-year systemic violation patterns, or cross-flag enforcement tiers.
If you squint past the palm trees, the report is plain: 188 restaurants with chronic violation records surface in Broward County on the 11-year pattern view, led by TEN TEN SEAFOOD & GRILL, KALALOU BAR & GRILL FORT LAUDERDALE LLC. The full repeat-offender record sits below. For civilians not fluent in state paperwork: chronic violation record is our shorthand for an 11-year repeat-offender pattern, not a verdict on the operator. The inspectors merely wrote down the punchline.

✨ Trusted
Most Improved
38 records this window
Restaurants whose recent-window violation count is at least 50% lower than the prior window, with the most recent inspection clean.
South of the I-4 corridor, the violations get colorful: BARILOCHE GOURMET in Fort Lauderdale, ROCCO'S TACOS in Fort Lauderdale and WOW! WING HOUSE in Tamarac owned the top of the Broward County board. 38 restaurants met the sustained-improvement test: at least four inspections in each 12-month window, recent HP+Critical counts cut by 50% or more, and an active license. BARILOCHE GOURMET in Fort Lauderdale dropped HP+Critical counts from 18 to 2 across the two 12-month windows (88.9% better). For civilians not fluent in state paperwork: most improved means the recent record got materially cleaner than the prior-year pattern.

Clean Plates
129 records this window
Restaurants with multiple inspections in the current quarter and zero high-priority or intermediate violations.
Down here, the inspector's clipboard reads like fiction: 129 Broward County licensees ran a clean Q2 2026 ledger across multiple inspections — GULFSTREAM PARK THEME PARK CARTS, TAYLOR MADE BBQ, RED ZEPPELIN among them. These are repeat visits with zero high-priority or intermediate violations — the operators rewarded for consistency, not one lucky inspection. GULFSTREAM PARK THEME PARK CARTS stretched a high-priority-free run to 14 inspections covering roughly 3.5 years. For civilians not fluent in state paperwork: a clean plate means the recent inspection record stayed quiet where the state was looking. The swamp, for once, is not the problem.

🆕 New
Openings
53 records this window
New DBPR licenses plus confirmed opening signals: the places that just joined the map and still need their first public-record track record.
Out where the heat melts the rules, here is the count: Current Broward County tally: 53 opening signals. 130 announced via FB/news/operator signal; 1388 DBPR/event-ledger new-license records. Current names include HUEY MAGOO'S CHICKEN TENDERS in Coral Springs, JERRYS JERK in Fort Lauderdale and DAVE'S HOT CHICKEN in Davie. Ledger type mix: 1388 new-license records and 130 announcement-led records. Cuisine/venue mix: 591 Unknown and 63 Pizza. Area concentration: 311 FORT LAUDERDALE and 136 HOLLYWOOD. Velocity check: 214 opening signals in the last 90 days, 45 in the last 30. Dated opening signals run from 2023-05-19 to 2026-07-15. RiskyEats treats these as opening signals: license issue, announcement, or operational evidence can precede the first routine inspection, so the paragraph does not imply a clean inspection history. For civilians not fluent in state paperwork: an opening signal starts with licensing or source-confirmed evidence, not wishful ribbon-cutting. The inspectors merely wrote down the punchline.
